there is an interesting comment I heard:
An LXI civic has higher start-up torque and acceleration than VTi Civic!

ther reason: An LXi is like a vtec engine in which the Vtec is always turn on.
On a Vtec engine, on lower RPM, the vtec is off, contolling the intake valve opening for fuel economics, when you hit 4500rpm, the vtec turns on, opening all intake valves fully, gaining full power. In an Lxi, its already open all the time. The only disadvantage, it consume more fuel on idling and at lower RPM, but you have all intake valves full power all the time. So..when two civics LXI and VTEC both 1.5l engine, do a quartermile, the LXI will beat the Vtec...

You think so?? Comments? ano po sa tingin nyo?
